Leftists don’t have a monopoly on infighting looks like

I wonder how long it would take to really be flushed out.

My doctor said something along the lines of “3 days a month and then a week every 4 or 5 months when you feel the meds aren’t making that much of a difference”. It also depends a lot on your medication though. Methylphenidate (what I take) has a half-life in the body of like 1.5 days

Been trying to get an eve escape vehicle working on Kerbal Space program and it’s kicking my butt

When you phrase your opening comment with “you realize” it implies that I don’t “realize” this thing you are explaining to me. Maybe I’m doing that to you right now

That was my bad, I meant as me saying out loud “and then you realize this happens”. Not as in “don’t you know x?” way, but rather as “when this happens, you come to understand that medication doesn’t work like this”.

I edited my comment a bit after because I realized it could’ve come as smug or condescending when that wasn’t my intention.

The flush periods I have lately are usually when my depression flares up and I forget to take care of myself, or when my prescription takes some time to get renewed.Everything you’ve mentioned happens too, I get more emotionally unstable, living becomes harder… I used to take 5 days off a month with fewer I’ll effects, but that was when my routine and life kinda worked. It hasn’t been that way for months. Maybe that’s what makes going back on medication such a big change.

What happened for me is that you realize that the chemical help needs to be used as a way to help you cope better with your condition, rather than make it disappear. It’s also hard to unlearn many unhealthy coping mechanisms from before being medicated, that’s something I’ve been working on in regular therapy.

My doctor recommended flush periods where I stop taking the medication to prevent building up a tolerance. Idk if it’s true but I think it works.

Rice and beans are full proteins but you still should eat other things to get micronutrients and fiber. There’s where squash and fruits and veggies come in I believe.

Oh no the badges are worn incorrectly, unlike us military who has always been thorough in their research and representation of their enemies

you can live off of that, permanently.

A huge part of South America already does lol

Dude needs to rethink his riddle model. He needs to use the riddles to gstekeep something like a road or a bridge, that way people have to solve the riddle.

Literally every western (and some non western) country has bought and used Pegasus against activists and journalists, the virtually undetectable Israeli Spyware that essentially gives the state root access to your phone.This is small beans compared to it.

Lol I’ll be the first to admit it. Most people I dated were really intelligent snd they were really happy to share their passions. It’s just hot to see people you love being awesome and happy.

Yeah that’s what I meant. That many people are perfectly happy turning their brain off if they know they’ll still get what they want. Having worked in retail myself I’ve seen the transition happen in front of me.

It’s something way older than Ai but it only has made it more pronounced because unlike retail workers the lying machine doesn’t take breaks or close for the day

This is literally what my partner says. She loves it when I gush about things I’m really interested and love, and I love it when she does. Idk, there’s something really attractive about peeople being earnest and competent.

I love how shameless of a rip-off of the Joy of Cooking it is lmao.

It’s a rudimentary form of having your brain be turned to mush by AI because you have outsourced your decision-making to it. Why do stuff for yourself if someone is getting paid and being abused for it.

And although you touched on it in your text, it is important to underline that disability is socially constructed in similar ways that race or gender are. Disabled people are oppressed because the way society is organized oppresses them. Systemic change and political can and must bring about a change to the conditions that oppress disabled people as part of it. This is at the heart of any intersectional action.

Capitalism is unable of dealing with difference in any meaningful way unless it can be commoditized, it has a standardizing and conformizing impulse because they maximize surplus value. As you mentioned, the same logic is applied to the worker as a commodity, so the worker must be “standard” to be useful to the capitalist, and they will be disciplined to become standard, or made to pay the difference in surplus labor otherwise.

I’m not saying a different material base will bring with it the end of patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia or ableism, far from it. But it is important to understand that the systemic oppression of difference is an emergent feature of capitalism working as intended, and therefore we must insist that all advocacy for workers includes and makes space for difference, as well as we have to ceaselessly advocate for ourselves to be included in wider political efforts.

Because very few people (including leftists) are interested in doing the uncomfortable and painful work of self-reflection needed to practice intersectionality.

What do you think took its place? Or rather, there isn’t an audience for video essays to be as common as they used to be?

It’s called having a type. Having a type isn’t necessarily a sexuality, it’s just the collection of things that attract you in a person, and sometimes all the people you’re attracted to have a thing in common.
